Cinematography can be defined as the art of motion picture photography (recording moving images of an action Infront of a camera) with the use of light and camera. The three basic elements that make up cinematography are: camera movement, lighting and composition.
A cinematographer also known as a Director of Photography, is in charge of the camera and the lighting crew. They’re the person responsible for creating the look, color, lighting, and for framing of every single shot in a film.
8/10
the movie uses good imagery and I like how the 3 different parts show the trials and tribulations of life and consequences of bullying.
In my opinion I would give the film a 10/10
A memorable scene for me was when Joker stands Infront of the crowd and smears the blood on his face into a smile as he turns to face them, shows dramatic effect because hes displaying the character himself instead of having to paint on his smile, he uses a more permanent part of himself.
My all-time favourites
Best picture- the virgin suicides
Best director- Sofia Coppola
Best actress- Mia goth
Best actor- Evan peters
What makes a good film?
There are many factors that go into making a good film, using a range of micro elements and macro elements can help improve the quality of the film and make it more enticing for viewers.
You can start by breaking down films into broad elements. One of them being the macro (big) elements, referring to genre, character, story, and plot. It is essential for a film to have a genre as they are the baseline for the whole film. The genre of a film is a stylistic or thematic category of a film based on emotional response, aesthetic, or the narrative elements. films being separated into genres can help the viewers get an idea of the theme of the movie, it also helps give a sense of direction for the overall feel of the film. The characters of the film plays a crucial role in getting the right message across, casting the right cast can enhance the overall view of the characters, helping portray the personalities accurately, having characters the audience relate to also brings a sense of sympathy. It is important for a film to have a good, well-structured plot, clearly divided into beginning middle and end, with a built-in climax and resolution, this is so that the viewer stays interested and enticed.
The micro (small) elements of a film refer to the finer details include things such as shots, costume, sounds, lighting etc. These help assist with improving the quality of the movie as well as the aesthetic aspect. The costuming of the characters of the film helps give a better sense to the characters personality, status, and period the movies set. Sounds of a film are just as important as the visuals as they aid to immerse the viewers in a unique world, move the storyline along and enhance the emotions felt, one way a film could include this is by using score which is when films use music to correlate to the scenes or moods felt. Shots are the building blocks of a film as they have a significant impact on how the viewer interprets the actions on the screen and they help us interpret the film correctly. Finally, lighting is important to create the right mood and tone for the scene it is also an immensely powerful tool used by filmmakers to enhance emotions of the scenes.
